Rough estimate: an idle CentOS server plus typical per-service use. Large databases or heavy builds need more.

CentOS at a glance
Where CentOS stands in 2026
CentOS Linux 7 and CentOS Stream 8 have reached end of life. CentOS Stream 9 is maintained and runs just ahead of RHEL 9, which makes it good for testing, not for servers that must stay unchanged.

Linux VPS in Paris →Who it's for
What people run on CentOS VPS servers
What is a CentOS VPS?
A CentOS VPS is a virtual machine running CentOS, managed over SSH with full root access. FlashRDP offers CentOS Stream 9, which is maintained until 2027 and tracks just ahead of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, plus end-of-life CentOS 7 and Stream 8 images for legacy software. It runs on KVM with 2–8 shared vCPU and 4–32 GB RAM in Phoenix or Paris, starts at $11.99 a month and is online in under 3 minutes. It is unmanaged.
CentOS VPS questions
Is CentOS still supported?
CentOS Linux 7 ended in June 2024 and CentOS Stream 8 in May 2024; neither gets security updates. CentOS Stream 9 is maintained until 2027. For long-term production, use Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux.
Which CentOS versions can I install?
CentOS Stream 9, plus CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS 7 for running legacy software while you migrate. Reinstall from the control panel at any time.
How do I connect to my CentOS VPS?
Run ssh root@your-server-ip with the password from your welcome email. Add your SSH key and turn off password login once you are in. See the connection guide.
What is the difference between CentOS Stream and RHEL?
CentOS Stream receives changes shortly before they appear in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. That makes it a preview of the next RHEL minor release, good for testing and development.
How do I move off CentOS 7?
Order a Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux server, copy your apps and data across, and test before switching DNS. Both are compatible with what ran on CentOS.
Is my CentOS VPS managed?
No, it is unmanaged. You handle updates, backups and security inside the OS. We run the hardware, network and DDoS filtering, and publish uptime on the status page.
